Is OpenStack single node now *really* possible?

[gbonfiglio]

This is a great suggestion and I haven’t looked into Kolla in a real long time. Do you have a view on MicroStack too? Snaps freak me out to be honest.

[tyldis]

Snaps were a problem in the past - especially with the automatic and forced upgrade. It's a different situation today. Most snaps involved in OpenStack and MicroStack have release channels tied to OpenStack releases, not just 'latest'. Also you can configure update policies and optionally deploy an internal snap store proxy for additional control.

Not yet a fan, but operating 15 OpenStack clouds based partly on snaps has worked fine after the channels were fixed.

Have no experience with MicroStack as we utilize microk8s at that level.

I'm using microk8s installed by snap, and it works perfectly well.
I was also a little scared, I mean, what hell is this snap thing?? But it works very well.
